The house in the present drawing bears a resemblance to one depicted in a early watercolour by J.M.W. Turner, Mansion with Wooded Grounds, now at the Fogg Art Museum, Harvard (W.328), which Susan Morris has identified as depicting Lime Grove, Bangor, the home of Lord Penrhyn's agent Benjamin Wyatt (1744-1818). A pencil sketch of the house, by Turner, is at Tate Britain (Turner Bequest XLVI 17a).
